- SteveSaporitoMelbourne, Australia75 contributionsLots to see and the self guided pamphlets are great in describing the history of this monastery.
The digital room gives you a look back in time as it would have looked like many years ago.
A relaxing morning and a great coffee and cake at the end with a quick stop at the cafeWritten October 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The main house turned into a wonderful surprise when I found a small art museum in its lower level. There was a bit of everything including some wonderful flower canvases from an artist from Connecticut. It is a wonderful stroll through changing terrain with magnificent views of the Papal Palace as well as the fields and mountains ringing the area. Not surprisingly there was a small restaurant. The surprise was the quality. It's a small menu but what I had was fresh and wonderful. There was cheese (of course) that I though was just mozzarella but turned out to be an imported Italian cheese that while firm on the outside like mozzarella had a soft center. It was the end of the lunch service and the chef wandered out and we chatted. She showed me her kitchen and how all the items are chosen fresh daily at the farmers market. Except the cheese, she imports that from Italy. All in all the gardens, grounds, and cafe are worth the trip.Written August 23, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maz WSheffield, UK28 contributionsWe enjoyed our visit to the Fort. Whilst we'd agree that the signage could be better, the signed walk around it, including up the towers and along the walls, provided lovely views for the reasonable entry price of 6E. Nice to see the olive and almond trees too. We were given an information leaflet in English and some of the digital displays offer an English version. The Abbey and Gardens are completely separate, privately owned and cost 9E. We didn't visit them. There is toilet in the ticket office- just ask.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dave OHSeoul, South Korea1 contributionDuring my trip to Avignon, I came across this little store and was very surprised to find a wonderful collection of movies stuffs inside. As a movie enthusiast, I was really impressed by what I discovered in this small village.
The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about movies. We had a great conversation about Asian movies that lasted for a while. They speak an excellent English and traveled extensively abroad, even Korea, my country : )
Overall, it was a fantastic experience for me, and I would definitely recommend visiting this store if you love movies.

The best is that after your shopping you can enjoy seafood and a glass of wine!Written December 11, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NCsopranoCharlotte, NC25 contributionsAlthough there is nothing elegant about this equestrian center, the horses are well-cared-for and willing. We took a two hour ride through caves, up and down mountainsides, through thick brush and to the top of a bluff with a 50 mile view. Our guide spoke almost no English and we spoke almost no French but that didn't seem to create any problems. My novice rider husband requested nothing faster than a walk but for the more experienced riders, the guide will offer the opportunity for a trot and canter. The price is very reasonable - 18 euro/person/hour. If we had been in Provence longer I would have gone again. Be aware that you will be riding in an English saddle.Written August 9, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
